“To weep is to make less the depth of grief.”

– William Shakespeare

My mother-in-law passed as I put my birthday candles on my birthday cake, literally!

Everything must end, or there would never be beginnings.

I respect passing but only submit to its calling when it’s my time.

Her passing was peaceful. So, although we mourn, to her, it was pure joy. She is renewed and free to be the butterfly she was always fascinated by here on earth.

This year’s word is time for me, and I genuinely believe there is a time for everything. To me, love is time! How might you live like there is no tomorrow? For just like that first breathe, we’ll all have a last one too, and from her view, it’s a beautiful day!
